Yes. Reliance has 2.4% fewer shares outstanding than twelve months ago, 51,054,555 as of July 24, 2026. Over five years the share count is down 18.5%.
Net of every new share it issued, Reliance has 26.5 million fewer shares than at its 2013 peak. That is 34.2% of the company. Since fiscal 2014 alone it bought back about 31.2 million shares, while the count fell by 26.5 million. The difference went to employees and other new shares.
51,054,555 shares, as of July 24, 2026, from the cover page of its latest 10-Q. At the 2013 peak it had 77,571,017.
Each share is a bigger slice of the company. Someone who held Reliance stock in 2013 owns 1.5 times as much of the business today without buying another share. Whether that was a good use of cash depends on the price paid.
